Congratulations to WIMBLEDON PARK who came joint third in the Bowls England Club of the Year 2014 awarded annually to the club that is judged to have shown the greatest efforts to promote the club, increase membership and work with
the local community. (Since 2012 their ladies membership has virtually trebled) As Regional Winners Wimbledon Park receive 2 sets of bowls, £50 cash as well as a BE Pennant and framed
certificate.

At our annual dinner and presentation of prizes on Friday 24th October, a surprise visitor was Mr Michael Jennings, the Bowls England Junior Vice
President. Mr Jennings said he had always got on so well with Surrey ladies at Leamington during the National Championships, that he was delighted to come to present the Bowls England
Certificate of Merit to our Treasurer, Jackie Taylor. The certificate of merit is presented to individuals who are deemed to have provided outstanding service to the sport at club and
county level. Jackie has been our treasurer for 22 years. She has not confined her activities to looking after our money but has run other events such as the county tour and all this
entails. Her large car was bought to enable her to transport officers and uniform all over the county to games. She recently visited all indoor clubs to deliver the new county shirts in
addition to all outdoor matches to ensure all county players were equipped – a thankless task. Even though she is suffering from ill health, Jackie organised the Dinner and Presentation from
her hospital bed. Jackie received a standing ovation and truly deserved her award.

It is with sadness that we report that Mike Haigh (President of SCBA in 2002) has
died.

The family have requested no flowers however any donations should be made for Cancer Research through

Ember BC, Surrey Ladies, Guests at Presidents Day

I would like to express my heartfelt thank you to everyone concerned for making my Presidents Day a very happy and memorable occasion for me.

I would also like to thank my club Ember for their generosity and the continued support they have shown me throughout this year – they did ‘a good job’!

The fun games were organized by Ann Rapley, Jean Hewett and Jenny Baird- and they seem to provide lots of fun and laughter.For those guests who did not play it was a good opportunity to catch up with ‘old
friends’.

The day ended with a meal at the ‘Cobham Curve’ and I thank my friend Jan Smith for doing the wonderful flower arrangements.

Thank you for allfor your cards and good wishes and your generous donations to Anthony Nolan.

Warm wishes from

Maxine Glazebrook President
